Men's basketball: Bracketology, part III

Here are our latest wild guesses and hunches on the Final 8 seeding. The picks from last Thursday are here.

Richard Zussman
is in this week and has bucked the Carleton-UBC 1-2 trend. Those two teams and Calgary are in everyone's top four. The debates seem to be whether to slot Cape Breton over Trinity as the wild card entry, whether or not Concordia should be higher than sixth, and where to put Western and St. Francis Xavier.

The rest are pretty consistent: only nine teams show up across five ballots.

J. Book:
  1. Carleton (host)
  2. UBC (Can West #1)
  3. Concordia (Quebec #1)
  4. Calgary (Can West #2)

  1. Mr. Zussman: I'm a Dinos fan and even I don't think they can take UBC at their home. But thanks for the vote of confidence.
